Question

Jamil earned 60 points on his last test. If there were 75 possible points, what was his percent grade?

​

Answer 1

80%

Explanation:

First, find a common factor of 60 and 75. This would be 3. Then, divide both 60 and 75 by 3 and covert to a fraction. It should be
`(20)/(25)`.

You probably know that 100 (100%) is divisable by 25. 25 X 4 = 100.

Now you have to multiply both sides of the fraction to get a number that is is out of 100. You will get
`(80)/(100)`. Convert this to a percentage. You should get 80%.

Answer 2

Jamil's percent grade = 80%.

Explanation:

To find Jamil's percent grade, we can use the formula:

`\sf \textsf{Percent Grade} = \left( \frac{\textsf{Earned Points}}{\textsf{Possible Points}} \right) * 100\%`

Given that Jamil earned 60 points out of 75 possible points, substitute these values into the formula:

`\sf \textsf{Percent Grade} = \left( (60)/(75) \right) * 100 \%`

Now, calculate the percent grade:

`\sf \textsf{Percent Grade} = (4)/(5) * 100\%`

`\sf \textsf{Percent Grade} = 80 \%`

Therefore, Jamil's percent grade is 80%.
